Seriously, are we talking about the "bane" from SF?
No. I'm not going into detail because we do not discuss other smith's or their products here. |

I felt a great disturbance in the force as if millions of nerds cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

No. I don't US will mind if bash another smith's inferior design. The saber in question was only pulled off by using cast halves. I've heard reports that the design is weak. The smith I refer to has a habit of turning out sabers in the price range of $XXXX.XX for his high ends. |

if this other design isn't that great, it might be in US best interest to perfect a rugged and truly curved design.

Has anyone suggested, over the course of the last 250ish pages, a Chosen One with a silver emitter?  Even if they don't do changes to the openings just behind the emitter or the horizontal line on the activation box, it'd be a worthy option. |

I'd love to see the Chosen One saber with a silver emitter, I'd also like to see some of the black parts in silver as well. A different grip option would be great also. |

It just seems like, with that one, simple option for the emitter, they could also satisfy people who want the Ep 2 Anakin saber.

If anyone from US actually reads this.
I have a suggestion that would make at least me happy.
I'd love to have the option to purchase a saber without a blade. This is for those saber collectors who only want the saber for display, or those that have a bunch of sabers and nowhere to store all of the blades.

^^^NO NOT from them. Don't ever mention them here e.e Some others are okay I think just not them I'm sure something is being worked on though for a more comfortable curved saber. Maybe a more smoother hilt but with some details in it still. Something along the lines of the Overlord style body or something like that. I can't really think of anything else at the moment. Maybe add regular custom blade lengths of all sizes as a regular option at some point? Even for the Heavy Grade blades? I'd like to get some 34 inch blades

I emailed US over the summer enquiring about future curved sabers; Emory said they were working on one, but it would probably not be out in time for xmas. This was before they got hosed with orders, too, so I imagine that process is even more delayed. So maybe sometime in 2016? Who knows.  |

It would. I've said before that I would love something like just a SIBS with 30° of a R6". But the problem with a curved hilt is that the wire harness for the batts & boards needs to be straight in order to remove from the body. Take the "grip" section of the Mantis. That's about the minimum you need to house US guts and still have room for enough wire to pull everything out. A true curved hilt would most likely require mandatory recharge ports. Access to the boards would take some other doing. Those types of guts don't come cheap. It's part of the reason the one smith charges so much for one of his curved hilts. US makes a high quality and affordable combat grade saber. So let's not gripe too much.  |

But yeah, an activation box would be nice. I'm glad we got the Archon v3, so one of my wishes came true. but still, need the little box. |

It's a Prophecy in the same way that Vader's saber is a Dark Prophecy. They both bear about the same degree of resemblance to the Prophecy sabers. But the Chosen one is far, far closer to the picture, Anakin's Ep II saber, than the Prophecy is. |

Don't know if these have been suggested yet or not.
I think the Chosen One saber should be offered with a silver emitter, and some other details to make it look closer to Anakin's Episode 2 saber.
Plus I think the Archon v2.1, should be offered with a Granade grip and gold anadized neck, making it look more like Obi-Wan's saber from Episodes 3, and 4.
